The Association between Sense of Humor, Coping Ability and Burnout among Nursing Education FacultyTalbot, Laura A. (Laura Ann) 05 1900 (has links)
A nonexperimental descriptive study was conducted to determine the interrelatedness among coping strategies, humor and burnout among nursing education faculty. The conceptual framework of this study was based on the constructs of coping strategies and humor which were conceptualized as having a direct relationship to burnout. Areview of the literature concerning coping, humor and burnout supported this proposition and emphasized the need for empirical testing. Coping Humor Scale. Wavs of Coping Questionnaire and Maslach Burnout Inventory were the instruments used to measure the constructs. Academic history and demographic data sheets were also used. Hie instruments were mailed to 285 nursing faculty teaching in programs of nursing in the Dallas /Fort Worth, Texas area. The return rate for the mailing was 70.07%. Burnout among nursing education faculty showed a low degree of emotional exhaustion (54.8%), a low degree of depersonalization (84.7% and a low degree of personal accomplishment (60.7%). The findings did not reveal a high or low degree of burnout but rather a pattern of burnout suggestive of a different stage. Humor as a coping mechanism during stressful events was not frequently used. The highest proportion of nursing education faculty used distancing (46.53%) as a coping strategy. The second strategy used was planful problem solving (11.3%) with escape-avoidance used the least (3.34%). Multiple regression was used to test the research questions related to the predictor variables of coping, academic history and demographic data as they relate to each criterion variable of burnout. The use coping strategies (including humor) to predict various stages of burnout revealed only weak variable predictors. Academic history and demographic were also weak predictors for burnout.

A Study of the Outcomes of Stress Management Training in Ministerial Programs of Higher EducationShirley, Philip E. (Philip Elwood) 08 1900 (has links)
This dissertation studies the outcomes that higher education courses and seminars in stress management have on the stress levels of pastors. It identifies stress level differences between a sample of pastors who have and who have not been trained in stress management. The instrument that was used to assess the levels of stress was the Maslach Burnout Inventory. The Inventory is a twenty-two item dual-rating instrument that measures the frequency and intensity of three aspects of the burnout syndrome: emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and a lack of personal accomplishment. Demographic questions were used to determine the respondents' sex, age, education, and experience in the clergy. These questions were asked for descriptive purposes only. In addition, questions were asked that would determine whether or not the pastors had had stress management training.

Syndrom vyhoření - diagnostické možnosti (srovnávací studie) / Burnout syndrome - diagnostic possibilities (comparative study)Vlachovská, Barbora January 2011 (has links)
The theoretical part deals with key issues of burnout - a definition, phase of syndrome, diagnostic classification, prevention, and mainly deals with the description of the methods by which the level of burnout is detected. Now probably the most common diagnostic tools are the MBI (Maslach Burnout Inventory) and its derivatives (eg. MBI-General Survey), but there are many other methods, such as developed by Israeli and European psychologists (BoTeLis, OLBI, CBI, MBS, etc.). The goal is to assemble a relatively complete overview of these diagnostic tools.In the empirical part, is to verify the psychometric properties of Czech version of the selected methods on a set of population, describe and analyze their characteristics.

Previous issue date: 2017-08-28 / Nenhuma / Este estudo foi realizado com 71 trabalhadores de instituições bancárias da região sul do país, que atuem em atividades externas às agências. Apresenta como principal objetivo avaliar os graus de Síndrome de burnout em bancos da Região Sul do Brasil a partir da aplicação da escala Maslach Burnout Inventory – General Survey (MBI-GS). A pesquisa teve abordagem quantitativa, e natureza de pesquisa pelos tipos pesquisa descritiva e tendo como estratégia a pesquisa de campo. A coleta de dados deu-se através de Survey e de aplicação da escala MBI. Como resultado, identificou-se a presença de níveis moderados de burnout no setor bancário, conforme os critérios estabelecidos por McLaurine (2008), haja vista que seriam indicativos de burnout altos índices de Exaustão Emocional e Despersonalização e moderados índices de Envolvimento Pessoal no Trabalho. No referencial teórico, a Exaustão Emocional seria a primeira dimensão a surgir como indicativo da patologia, apresentando pontuação mais elevada quando comparada as outras dimensões. De acordo com as médias de Exaustão Emocional, obteve-se resultados que variam de 1,37 até 3,24. No caso deste estudo, verificou-se que a Exaustão, apresentou resultado médio de 2,38, indicando que o sentimento de exaustão é frequente nos indivíduos que fizeram parte deste estudo. Quando analisados os níveis de cinismo, os níveis encontrados nesta pesquisa vão de 1 até 1,61, encontrando aqui média em 1,15, caracterizando-se como moderado nível de cinismo. A dimensão Eficácia no Trabalho apresenta suas médias invertidas pelo aspecto positivo dos questionamentos, com resultados entre 4,13 e 5,24, teve média de 4,83, apresentando moderado nível de eficácia no trabalho. Os dados desse estudo apontaram para um desvio padrão considerado elevado, o que demonstra que pode haver uma variação muito grande entre níveis bastante baixos e altos de burnout entre os indivíduos pesquisados. A média de burnout foi de 1,62, caracterizando como moderado o índice de burnout. Em relação ao gênero, observou-se uma correlação significativa com os componentes do burnout, apontando que as mulheres têm uma percepção de exaustão, em média, ligeiramente superior aos homens. Da mesma forma, também se verifica uma tendência para os homens apresentarem níveis médios de Eficácia no Trabalho superiores. Foram propostos três tipos de estratégias de intervenção para a prevenção e tratamento da síndrome de burnout: estratégias individuais; estratégias grupais; e estratégias organizacionais. O estudo apresentou limitações, mesmo ante ao rigor científico e metodológico utilizado. Há limitação na pesquisa em função da escolha da população pesquisada ter sido por acessibilidade ou conveniência, como também os trabalhadores escolhidos nas instituições financeiras formarem uma amostra menor, haja vista que os trabalhadores internos são uma parcela mais representativa no quadro de colaboradores. O número de respondentes reduzido da amostra também representou uma limitação. Para trabalhos futuros, sugere-se a replicação do estudo junto aos trabalhadores bancários internos e com maior número de respondentes, possibilitando uma análise mais detalhada de cada amostra, bem como a replicação em outros tipos de indústria ou regiões do Brasil, possibilitando a comparação entre as mesmas e entre regiões. Recomenda-se também a adoção de outras escalas de mensuração da síndrome de burnout. / This study was carried out with 71 employees from banking institutions in the southern region of the country, who work in activities outside the agencies. The main objective was to evaluate the degrees of Burnout Syndrome in banks in the Southern Region of Brazil from the application of the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey (MBI-GS) scale. The research had quantitative approach, and nature of research by the types descriptive research and having as strategy the field research. The data collection was done through Survey and application of the MBI scale. As a result, the presence of moderate levels of burnout in the banking sector was identified, according to the criteria established by McLaurine (2008), since it would be indicative of high burnout rates of Emotional Exhaustion and Depersonalization and moderate levels of Personal Involvement in Work. In the theoretical reference, Emotional Exhaustion would be the first dimension to appear as indicative of the pathology, presenting a higher score when compared to the other dimensions. According with the Emotional Exhaustion averages, results were obtained that varied from 1.37 to 3.24. In the case of this study, it was verified that the Exhaustion presented an average result of 2.38, indicating that the feeling of exhaustion is frequent in the individuals who were part of this study. When analyzed the levels of cynicism, the levels found in this research range from 1 to 1.61, finding here average in 1.15, characterizing as moderate level of cynicism. The Efficacy dimension in the Work presents its means inverted by the positive aspect of the questions, with results between 4.13 and 5.24, with an average of 4.83, presenting moderate level of work efficiency. The data from this study pointed to a standard deviation considered high, which shows that there may be a very large variation between very low and high levels of burnout among the individuals surveyed. The mean of burnout was 1.62, characterizing as moderate the burnout index. Regarding gender, there was a significant correlation with the components of burnout, indicating that women have a perception of exhaustion, on average, slightly higher than men. In the same way, there is also a tendency for men to have higher average levels of Work Efficacy. Three types of intervention strategies for the prevention and treatment of burnout syndrome were proposed: individual strategies; group strategies; and organizational strategies. The study presented limitations, even before the scientific and methodological rigor used. There is a limitation in the research as a result of the choice of the researched population for accessibility or convenience, as well as the workers chosen in the financial institutions to form a smaller sample, since internal workers are a more representative group of employees. The reduced number of respondents from the sample also represented a limitation. For future work, it is suggested that the study be replicated with internal banking workers and with a larger number of respondents, allowing a more detailed analysis of each sample, as well as replication in other types of industry or regions of Brazil, making it possible to compare the same and between regions. It is also recommended to adopt other measures of burnout syndrome.

The validation of two burnout measures in the South African earthmoving equipment industry / A.M. le RouxLe Roux, Anleri Martha January 2004 (has links)
The objectives of this study were to validate the Maslach Burnout Inventory - General Survey
(MBI-GS) and the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory (OLBI), to determine the construct equivalence
and item bias of these instruments for employees in an earthmoving equipment industry in South
&ca of different language groups, to determine the correlation between the MBI-GS and the
OLBI, and to investigate the relationship between burnout and various demographic
characteristics. A random sample of 326 employees in an earthmoving equipment industry of
eight provinces in South Africa was taken. The MBI-GS, the OLBI and a biographical
questionnaire were used as measuring instruments. Cronbach alpha coefficients, inter-item
correlation coefficients, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficients and exploratory factor
analysis were used to analyse the data
The results showed that three factors of the MBI-GS and two factors of the OLBI exist for
different language groups. Exploratory factor analysis with target rotations confirmed the
construct equivalence of the three factors of the MBI-GS and the two factors for the OLBI for
different language groups. No evidence was found for uniform or non-uniform bias of the items
of the MBI-GS or the OLBI for different language groups. Results indicated that no differences
with respect to levels of burnout exist between various demographic characteristics.
Recommendations were made for further research. / Thesis (M.Com. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

Burnout and engagement in a South African university student sample : a psychometric analysis / Carina GauchéGauche, Carina January 2006 (has links)
In recent years, the concept of burnout has been expanded and is currently a concern in all
professions and occupational groups. Nowadays it is widely acknowledged that people in
almost any occupation could develop burnout. To-date, only two studies have examined
students' experiences of burnout. Therefore, research regarding this phenomenon in students
seems warranted. The objective of this study was to firstly investigate the psychometric
properties of adapted versions of the Maslach Burnout Inventory and Utrecht Work
Engagement Scale in a sample of students from a tertiary institution, and secondly to consider
the role of biographical variables in relation to burnout and engagement levels.
A cross-sectional survey design was used to attain the research objectives. For the purposes
of this study, an availability sample of students (N=353) majoring in Organisational
Behaviour was drawn at one point in time. The adapted Maslach Burnout Inventory - Student
Survey (MBI-SS) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale - Student Survey (UWES-S) as
well as a biographical questionnaire were administered.
Structural equation modelling confirmed two-factor models of Burnout (consisting of
Exhaustion and Cynicism) and Engagement (consisting of Vigour and Dedication).
Biographical variables which appear to be predictive of differences in levels of student
burnout are home language, overall health status and consideration given to quitting their
studies, while engagement is related to home language, academic year of study and
consideration given to quitting studies.
Recommendations for future research were also made / Thesis (M.A. (Industrial Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

The relationship between emotional intelligence and burnout amongst social workers in the north and south regions of the Western CapeBarkley, Elethea January 2013 (has links)
Magister Commercii (Industrial Psychology) - MCom(IPS) / The social work profession is strongly client based with workers being involved in
complex social situations (Lloyd, King & Chenoweth, 2002). Social workers
judgement and decision making are influenced by their emotions and the
emotional context of the situation. Thus emotional intelligence is a core skill for
every social worker. Morrison (2007) purported that in order to be a good
practitioner one had to be able to comprehend and mange one‟s emotions and be
completely aware of the power of these emotions. Social work thus requires emotional involvement and it is therefore not uncommon for social workers to be emotionally drained and frustrated, which inevitably can lead to burnout (Lukelelo, 2004). According to Howe (2008), on a daily basis social workers face the complex world of human behaviour within the social context. Within this world relationships are broken, emotions run high and personal needs may not be met. However, Kinman and Grant (2010) postulated if social workers possessed the correct emotional and social competencies it would assist them in coping with the stressors of the profession and could reduce psychological distress and enhance well-being.

Relationship Between Coaches' Leadership Style and BurnoutDale, Judith A. (Judith Anne) 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship between leadership behavior and perceived burnout of coaches. Head coaches from high schools and from Southeast and Southwest Conference universities were included in the sample (N=302). Coaches completed the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire, Social Desirability Scale and a demographic data sheet. Coaches were separated into two leadership behavior groups and classified as Consideration or as Initiating Structure. It was predicted that coaches in the Consideration Group would have a higher level of perceived burnout. A multivariate analysis of variance was conducted and indicated significant differences in four subscales of the MBI. Specifically, coaches in the Consideration Group scored significantly higher in the frequency and intensity dimension of the emotional exhaustion and depersonalization subscales (p<.001).
